D Is For Deficiency

I've been feeling a bit poorly lately. I have had all sorts of medical procedures. I've been stuck. I've been scanned. I've been x-rayed. I've been poked, prodded, and given more pills than a person should have to take. All of my tests have come back negative. (Which is a good thing) But, I am beginning to wonder if I might just be a hypochondriac. The doctors are running out of tests to perform. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. Plus, I'm tired of dealing with those mean ladies that I have to pay my 20 dollar copay to every time I walk in the front door. Don't get me started on that! My doctor looked at me and said there was one more test that they could run. It was a simple blood test to check my Vitamin D level. Well, lo and behold, my Vitamin D level was half of what it was supposed to be. I looked at the guy and asked if I had Scurvy or something? I spend entirely too much time sitting around in the dark staring at a computer screen. What a difference a week makes! I have tried to spend a few minutes in the sun each day and have started a regimen of Vitamin D supplements. Have your Vitamin D level checked if you can. You might be deficient and not even know it.
